While the consensus around the glamp site was that the arrangement was more campy than glamorous, several visitors appreciated not having to pay $5 for a shower (like the regular campers) and having eggs, sausage and juice boxes waiting for them in the morning. Emerging from the glamp lounge with perfectly stick-straight hair and pink pouty lips,…

After midnight Friday, a pesky drizzle put the kabosh on any raves or drum circles planned at camping lots six and seven. Campers grilled hot dogs or played cards. A couple of laid-back Canadians reclined in canvas chairs under string lights, sipping rum and coke. Strains of OK Go, which performed earlier in the day, filtered…

Campers woke up to day two of Firefly with steady rain pounding their tents after dawn. One tweeting camper worried about catching a pneumonia after her tent sprung a leak. Luckily, the rain tapered off by the time gates opened at 11 a.m. Moon Taxi performed to a sparse crowd at 11:15 a.m. as groggy Fireflyers…

A line of several hundred people wrapped around the parking lot shortly before the gates opened at 2 p.m. First out of the gate was Beth Horsey of Townsend, who arrived only an hour earlier. She was subdued in her excitement because she hadn’t slept in 36 hours. Worried about long…

Traffic was surprisingly clear late morning on Routes 1 and 13 heading into Dover for this weekend’s mega Firefly Music Festival. Menacing clouds hung in the air but only isolated sprinkles cooled off the humidity. At the Wawa near Smyrna, The Killers’ “Human” blared from the speakers, a reminder of Saturday night’s headliner.
